If the one who passes in front of the one who is praying knew what is upon him

Q: After continuously reviewing the Dawah magazine, issue (828), dated 16 Rabi' al-Awwal, corresponding to January 11, 1982 CE, under the title "Islamic Fatwas," and reading the second question, which is supported by evidence from the Sunnah, namely the hadith of Abu Ja'far from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: Sahih Muslim 507a It was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim, and may Allah send prayers upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions, and peace be upon them. Is the hadith correct in writing, or does it contain errors, as a mistake was found in: "that he should stand for forty [units of time] is better for him than that he should pass by." May Allah guide you.
A: The hadith is authentic; it was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim in the two Sahihs, and its wording is as mentioned in the question. As for the addition [of sin] found in some books after the phrase "what is upon him," this addition is not correct from the perspective of narration, but its meaning is correct.
If anyone who passes in front of a man who is praying knew the responsibility he incurs, he would stand still forty (years) rather than to pass in front of him
لو يعلم المار بين يدي المصلي ماذا عليه لكان أن يقف أربعين خيرًا له من أن يمر بين يديهA: The hadith is authentic; it was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim in the two Sahihs, and its wording is as mentioned in the question. As for the addition [of sin] found in some books after the phrase "what is upon him," this addition is not correct from the perspective of narration, but its meaning is correct.
